@dabeaz I wish there was more real-world demand for Scheme and its cousins but I do believe it is still worth learning (and therefore teaching). Pleased to see this!
@stefano This sounds like a list put together with the help of a LLM by someone who doesn't really understand the landscape. I wholeheartedly agree with you - the levels of overcomplication nowadays is tiresome. I'm fighting a similar battle at the moment against the dreaded #kubernetes...
@webology Well, make is weird, but that's because I've only ever used it for workflow and have been too lazy to properly learn it - plus I don't often compile C code, etc. I actually use simple shell scripts a lot of the time in Django. Good to have alternatives!
@webology Looks interesting. First time I've seen `just`. Look forward to checking this out.
@canacar thanks - tried using just pf too. Will look again.

Surely port-forwarding UDP and TCP packets to a #Minecraft (Debian) server using #relayd on #OpenBSD should be straightforward?

Spent quite a bit of time on this yesterday and didn't manage it. I'm a relative newb when it comes to networking, #pf, etc but even #AI couldn't get me through it.

Has anyone done this? Grateful for any tips.

@orizuru Thanks for this. I've tried Lazyvim and NVChad and a few others and they're all good, but I never get very far when I have to go off script with them and end up getting despondent with having to learn Lua. I think I'll give Helix a good run out.
@mo8it Thanks for that. I'm a hardcore vimmer and so, from what I can see, I should be able to move around quite quickly at least. I'm getting tired of having to configure #Neovim. Just want a fast, terminal-based, vimlike editor that that requires very little manual config! Getting too old... Thanks for your feedback.
Is the #helixeditor any good?
